El color del trigo. (89 cm x 146 cm).

Very close to the Thyssen Museum, in Madrid, there is the B&B Arte Contemporáneo art gallery. Its manager is Oscar Bento, who is the author of the works that are exhibited there. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1950 and has regularly lived in Xàbia since 1980. He does painting, sculpture, and photography, showing in all of them the same interest in developing a very unique art form, either in the field of figuration or in abstraction. In the case of painting, he combines both forms of creative expression, although landscape is the most recurrent theme in his compositions. In sculpture, he is more attracted to abstraction; in his pieces there are certain aspects that induce one to understand best what its real meaning is. Regarding photography, he does not start from a single theme but alternates the landscape with the interiors, giving them a certain pop appearance.
Bento will participate during the months of September and October this year in the second edition of the Flecha fair (Fair of Liberation of Commercial Spaces for Art), which will be held at the Artea de Leioa Shopping Center, a town near Bilbao.
